THE SOUTH BEND NEWS-TIMES

PUBLIC MORALS

BODY TO PROBE Will Seek to Establish Responsibility For Nonenforcement of Laws. Firmly convinced in their own minds that the laws are not being enforced in South Bend, the members of the newly appointed public morals committee of the South Bend and Mishawaka Ministerial association are to begin a thorough investigation into the causes for this non-enforcement of the statutes, particularly the ones that have to do with the regulation of the morals of the community, according to a statement to The NewsTimes by Dr. J. B. Greene, a member of the committee. The committee, which was appointed by the association at its meeting Monday, is composed of Rev. W. H. Freshley, Rev. J. L. lmhof and Dr. Greene. "We are convinced that the laws are not being enforced, but we are not sure as to where the fault for this non-enforcement lies," said Dr. Greene Monday. "We are going into the matter thoroughly in an effort to determine where the fault lies, and then we will decide what action we will take to have the laws enforced, continued Dr. Greene. No Action Yet. "We have taken no steps in any direction as yet, the members of the committee appointed Monday not having had a meeting. We are to be called together shortly, and at our first meeting we will outline our procedure." Dr. Greene paid that the committee In fairness to the administration will wn.it upon Mayor Carson and hear his Fide of the cae. "We want to be Lilr.' f-aid Dr. Greene. "What we are seeking Is a way to enforce the laws of the state and to uplift the morals of the community." The date for the firsr meeting of the committee, appointed at the meeting at which County Pros. Samuel I. Schwartz appeared before the ministerial association, has not been net. but members of the committee believe that it will be held during the present week. Mayor Carbon was not at his office Tuesday and could not be asked for an expression re garding the chuxge-J of non-enforcement of tho laws. Dr. Greene declined to express uu opinion on the raids conducted by the police on the Hilly Meyers and Clarence LTliott reports Saturday afternoon.

Federation News Through the courtesy of the editor we are to have this space on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays for the community centers of South Bend. The community center movement, which has J.een in progress here for several years, resulted in 1915 in the organization of a Federation of Civic Clubn, commonly known as the Civic federation Since that tim4 interest has increased steadily: new groups have been organized in various parts of the city until now there are IG schools in which there exists either a community rentier or a parentteacher's club or both. All of these organizations are amliated in the Civic federation. At its January meeting a resolution was passed stating that since this is a movement of much importance to the community, and since so many person? have become interested in it and connected with it, there was justification for the appointing of a committee to attempt to secure special reservation of space for "Center" news. This committee was able to report courteous treatment and satisfactory response from the editors of South Bend's papers. All those who are interested in news pertaining to the "centers," either as regards the literary programs, the gymnasium classes or other social functions, will find the announcements and reports under this head. The Civic federation held its February meeting on Monday niKht In the municipal recreation committee's offices. Beports were made by various centers in whose meetings the matter of a "coliseum" has been discussed, the practically unanimous consensus of opinion being that there should be a coliseum erected without delay and that it should be erected somewhere near the heart of the city. A discussion of some lensth followed as to whether the Civic federation would undertake to conduct the Fourth of July municipal picnic In 191!. All the delegates seemed to believe that the task should be undertaken, but it was the unanimous opinion that there should be stronger support from the city than has ever been given before. The federation is willing to undertake the task and to do the work, hut does not feel that it should attempt to entirely finance the proposition. The president was instructed to appoint committee which should devise plans and submit same to the March meeting of the federationMrs. G. W. rhillips, president of the Women's Civic league, invited the centers represented in this meeting to send delegates to a meeting which is to be held on Feb. 13 for the formation of a county, federation of clubs. The invitatio was accepted. A report was made to the federation by members -who were in the meeting of Jan. V.O. in which Brest Ersklne of the Studebnker corporation presented the plans of that company for expansion in South Bend and outlined the duties of the city in connection therewith. After a considerable discussion the following resolution was passed: "The Civic federation unqualifiedly endorses and supports the resolutions adopted in the meeting of Jan. no when Mr. Erskine, president of the Studebaker corporation, outlined the plans for expansion of that concern and called attention to South Bend's responsibilities and opportunities arising therefrom. The federation stands ready and willing to help carry out the spirit and letter thoreof. and herewith submits a list of the officers of each of the social centers and a committee specially appointed from each center for the purpose of executing said resolution?: and it is further resolved that a copy of these Resolutions be sent to Mr. Erskine, president of the Studehaker corporation. to the Chamber of Commerce and to tha local press." The object of presenting tho names of officers and special committee to the Chamber o? Commerce N that these people may be made available for services In any way deemed advisable by the Chamber of Commerce committee which Is working on the project. A unique feature of the evening was the meeting of tho social secretaries of the centers. There are now 11 of the? in the city. This group met at the call of the municipal recreation director for the discussion of the problems and plans incident to their work. They were addressed by L. M. Hammerehmldt, chairman of the municipal recreation committee, on the "Functions and Opporj tur.ities of Social Secretaries." and rejourned at p. m. to join the j Civic federation meeting which was then in progress.

FREIGHT HAULING

LaSalle Av. Association Asks City to Keep Railway - Within Rights. Operation of freight cars on Iasalle av. by the Chicago. Lake Shore and South Bend (South Shore) railway Is clearly outside the rights bestowed In the company's franchise, according to officials of the Lasalle Avenue Improvement association and steps will be taken by the association to prevent the continuance of the practice. A committee was appointed at the meeting of the association Monday evening in St. Peters' church to take the matter up with the board of safety and obtain the promise that the railway company shall be kept within its rights. The situation is particularly dangerous, the association points out, inasmuch as outbound cars on the city lines operate on the left hand track. The committee appointed by the association to meet the safety board is composed of E. A. Ireland, David A. West bury, David L. Guilfoyle. A. F. Eby and Marvin Campbell. "The franchise of the railway company was granted as a convenience to the passenger public," said an officer of the association Tuesday, "and did not contemplate the hauling of freight through one of the finest residence streets in the city. Our contention is that the freight should be handled as it Is in all metropolitan cities, by means of a belt line." In the Divorce Mill Charles B. Johnson threatened to tear the clothing: off his wife, and cursed and swore nt her, besides falsely accusing her so her complaint says and so she decided sh.; wouldn't live with him any longer.

LOCAL AND FOREIGN

PRICES lice ÄS MART OPENS NEW YORK. Feb. 4. What may be called a state of "lethargy" pievailed throughout iw-oi of the session today the monotony being broken in the last hour by a small buying movement in the railroad stocks which have been practically dormant for some weeks. The Studebaker corporation directors declared the regular dividends of one percent on the common stock and l :;-4 percent on the preferred stock, which fact will relieve the minds of certain investors who were uncertain as to just what this company would do as regards dividend action at today's meeting. There appears to be vtry good buying of the motor issues on realization of the fact that these companies are completing their reconstruction in a most satisfactory manner. General news of an important natire was lacking and in fact, the market appears to be awaiting: some development which will bring about more activity and in the meantime we cannot expect anything but trading affair.
